6. On string integrability : A journey through the two-dimensional hidden symmetries in the AdS/CFT dualities
Abstract : One of the main topics in the modern String Theory are the conjectured string/gauge (AdS/CFT) dualities. Proving such conjectures is extremely difficult since the gauge and string theory perturbative regimes do not overlap. In this perspective, the discovery of infinitely many conserved charges, i.e. READ MORE

7. Emergent spacetime from simple field theories
Abstract : Thermalization is an elusive phenomenon in quantum mechanics. Since according to the AdS/CFT correspondence, a black hole in the bulk spacetime is dual to a thermal state in the boundary CFT, thermalization in the CFT is dual to black hole formation in AdS. READ MORE

8. Topics on D-branes and Holography
Abstract : We discuss various aspects of D-branes in string theory and holography in string theory and loop quantum gravity.One way to study D-branes is from a microscopic perspective, using conformal field theory techniques. For example, we investigate the question of how D-branes can be introduced into orbifolded theories. READ MORE

9. Torn, Spun and Chopped : Various Limits of String Theory
Abstract : For the first time in the history of physics we stand in front of a theory that might actually serve as a unification of it all - string theory. It provides a self-consistent framework for gravity and quantum mechanics, which naturally incorporates matter and gauge interactions of the type seen in the standard model. READ MORE

10. Holographic Wilson Loops : Quantum String Corrections
Abstract : The gauge-string duality has been one of the most exciting areas in theoretical physics as it connects strongly coupled field theories with weakly interacting strings. The present thesis concerns the study of Wilson loops in this correspondence. READ MORE
